Midtown NYC Chiropractor, Dr. Shire adjusting you back to better health

How long you choose to care for your spine and nerve system is always up to you. "Will I always have to go?" is like asking, "Will I always have to see my dentist, eat healthy food, exercise, and breathe clean air?" The short answer is: only as long as you want to live a healthy, vibrant, active, and pain-free life. The answer is always up to you.

No. Chiropractic adjustments are gentle and specific to remove problems that prevent the body from healing. Sometimes there is a sound (a popping) that occurs. This is simply a release of gas and fluid in the joint.

Chiropractic does NOT cure anything! Chiropractic helps the body to heal and repair through the removal of subluxation (interference to the nerve system). Chiropractic allows the inborn or innate healing mechanisms in the body to take place. It's the same way the body heals from a cut on your finger or a broken bone.

Birth and the birth process, even under the best circumstances, can be traumatic. The slightest amount of twisting and pulling on the delicate bones and nerves can leave your child with subluxation. Areas of nerve interference can be detrimental to their growth and development. Subluxation can lead to things like ear infections, colic, and torticollis (stiff neck). Chiropractic adjustments for newborns are gentle and safe, and the health benefits are amazing. Visit www.icpa4kids.org to learn more about chiropractic and kids.
